I'm looking to treat myself to a nice watch/chronograph. I would like an automatic, or even perhaps a mechanical. I would like an easy to read dial, with numbers all the way around. Also with strong lumes. I have learned that they are referred to as Pilots Watches. The more I look, the more possibilities pop up. Please help me narrow the field. | ||

Lots of good info here. I bought a Seiko 5 based on experiences of our own members: https://sigforum.com/eve/forums...6031561/m/6290029643 -------------------------- Every normal man must be tempted, at times, to spit on his hands, hoist the black flag, and begin slitting throats. -- H L Mencken I always prefer reality when I can figure out what it is. -- JALLEN 10/18/18 | |||

I would put in a plug for Resco. It's a small watch company owned by an active-duty Navy SEAL. His watches are unique and I got lots of comments on mine because not many people are familiar with them. Prices from around $1200-2200. Maybe something like their RTAC GMT? Link | |||

Countycomm.com has a couple of good looking pilot's watches. I have their larger one. Probably one of the better ones for the $$$. You can spend a lot more, if you want. Knowing what one is talking about is widely admired but not strictly required here. Although sometimes distracting, there is often a certain entertainment value to this easy standard. -JALLEN "All I need is a WAR ON DRUGS reference and I got myself a police thread BINGO." -jljones | |||

These two are WAY below $3K, but you have to act fast, because they are on Massdrop: Orient Mako II I own an Orient Ray, which is this watch with dots instead of numerals. It's a fantastic watch, and more importantly, a fantastic value. It looks better than some $500 watches I've seen, keeps great time, and has gotten more than one compliment from folks that appreciate nice watches. Seiko 5 "Fifty Fathoms" I just got in on this drop, and I'm excited. It's a beautiful watch that was originally produced as an homage to a Blancpain Fifty Fathoms watch. The Seiko piece gets really great reviews, and for $125 I couldn't pass it up. Both of them are automatics. The Orient is a 200m diver with a screw-down crown. The Seiko 5 is a 100m watch. | |||

When I think pilot watch I think Breitling Navitimer. Not necessarily my cup of tea, but sort of iconic. I also like the IWC Big Pilot and the Fortis Flieger Professional Chrono. I'm gonna vote for the funniest frog with the loudest croak on the highest log. | |||
